‘I WOULD DO IT AGAIN IN A MINUTE’: Dick Cheney’s An Official Unrepentant BAD-ASS

Cheney remains unchanged over CIA’s torture program.

Former Vice President Dick Cheney continued his fierce defense of the harsh interrogation techniques used by the CIA in the wake of the 9/11 attacks, defiantly saying that he ‘would do it again in a minute.’

Speaking on NBC’s Meet The Press on Sunday, Cheney said there was ‘no comparison’ between the tactics and the deaths of American citizens on September 11, 2001, adding that the CIA had ‘very carefully avoided’ the practice of torture.

‘Torture is what the Al-Qaeda terrorists did to 3,000 Americans on 9/11. There is no comparison between that and what we did with respect to enhanced interrogation,’ said Cheney.

The former vice president also said he wasn’t concerned about that some of the foreign nationals captured and interrogated turned out to be innocent.

‘I have no problem as long as we achieve our objective and our objective is to get the guys who did 9/11 and it is to avoid another attack against the United States,’ he said.

His comments come in the wake of a damning Senate report into the CIA treatment of Al-Qaeda suspects that has triggered global revulsion.

Jonathan Gruber from MIT is the guy who wrote Obamacare, then said it only passed because the American voters are “stupid.” In the process, he made more than $6 million on top of much more as a consultant for state and local governments.

So today, he voluntarily testified before the House Oversight Committee. And although he was carefully coached by the Obama White House to sound apologetic and humble, Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) fired at him with both barrels. And it resulted in this must see video! (See above)

“The pervasiveness of your quotes is so much that it has to be more than that. It has to be more than an episodic mistake that you made,” Gowdy grilled. He went on, “What did you mean when you said you wish that you had been able to be transparent, but you’d rather have the law than not?”

Gowdy is speaking on behalf of the American people, who are seeing their insurance premiums skyrocket thanks to this law which was passed with the help of political criminals like Gruber. There should be serious legal repercussions for Gruber’s deceitfulness.

Ex-CIA Interrogation Chief Warns of Betrayal

By Greg Richter

Jose Rodriguez, former head of the CIA Counterterrorism Center and National Clandestine Service said Sunday that Rep. Nancy Pelosi and other members of the Intelligence Committees of both houses were aware of all the enhanced interrogation techniques his agency was conducting on terrorism suspects.

Rodriguez disputed charges in the recently released Senate Intelligence Committee report that he withheld information on any of the techniques from elected officials in Congress or the White House.

Rodriguez was the person in charge of implementing the program, and it was he who ordered 92 videos of the interrogations to be destroyed.

“There is a full written record of what’s on those tapes,” Rodriguez said.

He destroyed them to protect the agents whose faces can be seen on them in case they were ever leaked, he said. Also, he said he feared that if they were ever leaked, the clandestine program would be in jeopardy because members of the media would equate the “legal activity” shown on them with the Abu Ghraib case that Rodriguez said was conducted by “psychopaths.”

“The report throws the CIA under the bus,” he said. “I am just shocked that the United States of America would betray its liaison counterparts who actually stepped up to the plate to help us after 9/11.”

WATCH: This Fired Up Fox News Host Body Slams ‘Racial Hatred’ Obama In An Unforgettable Way

“You see racism everywhere,” charged Judge Jeanine Pirro, who pulled no punches in accusing President Obama of fanning the flames of “racial hatred, resentment and divisiveness” in America.

On her Fox News show, Judge Jeanine didn’t hide her feelings any more than Barack Obama hid his over the weekend. In an interview with Black Entertainment Television, Obama played directly to the frayed emotions of his audience, claiming that racism remains “deeply rooted” throughout the country.

In fact, Obama used the phrase “deeply rooted” three times in a matter of seconds as he spoke about the ongoing controversy and violent protests arising from racially charged events in Ferguson and New York City.

In a post on breitbart.com, William Bigelow describes what Obama said as “playing the race card more overtly than ever before.”

In Obama’s interview, which will be broadcast Monday evening, he intoned, “This is something that is deeply rooted in our society, it’s deeply rooted in our history.

When you’re dealing with something as deeply rooted as racism or bias… you’ve got to have vigilance but you have to recognize that it’s going to take some time, and you just have to be steady so you don’t give up when we don’t get all the way there.”

By clicking on the video above, you can watch how Judge Jeanine Pirro laid out her compelling case against Obama’s tendency to “see racism everywhere.” The Judge also lets Obama have it for associating with Al Sharpton, whom Pirro condemns as:

“…the greatest charlatan of them all, a man who makes a living inciting racial hatred, a tax cheat and a liar….”

Cruz, Lee Lead GOP Senate Attack on Spending Bill

First it was objections by House Democrats that stood in the way of passage of a $1.1 trillion catchall spending bill. Now it’s the Senate Republicans’ turn, specifically Ted Cruz of Texas and Mike Lee of Utah.

The two lawmakers demanded a vote Friday night on a proposal to cut funds from the bill that could be used to implement President Barack Obama’s new immigration policy, ending any chance the measure could clear the Senate and be sent to the White House with a minimum of fuss.

Officials in both parties said the bill remains on track for clearance by early next week. Even so, the move led Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., to abandon plans to adjourn the Senate for the weekend, and raised the possibility of a test vote on the spending bill shortly after midnight on Saturday.

Senate Republican leaders have pledged to challenge Obama’s immigration policy early in the new year, after the GOP takes control of the Senate. But Cruz suggested they shouldn’t be entirely trusted to keep their pledge.

“We will learn soon enough if those statements are genuine and sincere,” he said, in a clear reference to Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell and Speaker John Boehner.

Ironically, Cruz and Lee played a major role in events slightly more than a year ago that led to a partial government shutdown — an event McConnell, Boehner and most Republicans have vowed to avoid repeating. This time, Republican officials said they may have inadvertently given Reid an opening to win confirmation for several of Obama’s nominees that might otherwise have languished.

With the end of the two-year Congress approaching, Reid is pressing to confirm about 20 Obama nominees to fill posts such as surgeon general, director of the Social Security Administration and federal judgeships.

The spending measure tops the remaining items on a quarrelsome Congress’ agenda. Others include renewing tax breaks for individuals and businesses and a government program supporting the market for insurance against terrorist acts. In one bit of progress, the Senate sent Obama a sweeping defense policy measure by a big bipartisan vote.

Earlier Friday, the controversial spending package won a personal endorsement from Obama and was brought before the Senate.

Obama acknowledged that the measure has “a bunch of provisions in this bill that I really do not like,” and said the bill flows from “the divided government that the American people voted for.”

Obama has sided with old-school pragmatists in his party like Reid, but he’s split from leading liberals such as House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass. Warren blasted the measure in a Senate speech for the third straight day, saying it was a payoff to Citigroup, whose lobbyists helped write a provision that significantly weakens new regulations on derivatives trading by Wall Street banks.

“Enough is enough. Washington already works really well for the billionaires and the big corporations and the lawyers and the lobbyists,” Warren said. “But what about the families who lost their homes or their jobs or their retirement savings the last time Citi bet big on derivatives and lost?”

Another provision loathed by many Democrats — though backed by the Democratic National Committee — raises the amount of money that wealthy donors may contribute to political parties for national conventions, election recounts and headquarters buildings.

Democrats will lose control of the Senate in January because of heavy losses in midterm elections last month and will go deeper into a House minority than at any time in nearly 70 years.

Lawmakers from both parties came to the floor to praise the underlying spending measure, which provides funding to keep nearly the entire government operating through the Sept. 30 end of the current budget year.

News Anchor Reveals Shocking Examples Of Media Covering For Obama

Journalists of all stripes have long complained about the current administration’s lack of openness in dealing with the media despite claims that it is the “most transparent” in history.

While plenty of reporters lament their limited access to unbiased information, however, Fox News correspondent Monica Crowley revealed that many of her colleagues are more than happy using their influence to shill for Barack Obama.

Crowley penned a recent editorial for the Washington Times in which she recalled a conversation with one broadcast network reporter who revealed the sycophantic inner workings of her newsroom.

The unidentified woman described herself as a conservative, Crowley wrote, though she explained that she has never revealed that information for fear of losing her job. The veteran newswoman said that, while her industry has long leaned to the left, reporters have taken an even more partisan tone in dealing with the current White House.

“Every morning,” she told Crowley, “we hold a meeting about how to build that evening’s broadcast. We’ve been doing this for decades.”

Those meeting have always had an “unspoken” liberal undertone, she noted; however, the 2008 presidential election cycle showed a specific bias toward Obama.

“Once Obama pulled ahead of Hillary and certainly once he became president, the bias came out of the closet,” the source told Crowley. “Now, every morning when we meet to discuss that night’s show, they literally say – out loud – ‘How do we protect Barack Obama today?’”

This anecdote is hardly the only evidence suggesting newsrooms actively work on Obama’s behalf instead of fulfilling a commitment to impartiality. Crowley shared a conversation with another fellow journalist, Fox Business’ Melilssa Francis, who recalled a similar pressure to carry water for the administration.

When Francis reported inaccuracies surrounding the math behind Obamacare during her time at CNBC, she said executives raked her over the coals for “disrespecting the office of the president.”

Outgoing Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s final act as the most powerful person in the U.S. Senate chamber is one where he has relented to the Tea Party.

Reid’s Senate Democrats lost nine seats in the midterm elections—more than even the most generous prognosticators were expected—giving the GOP control over the U.S. Senate come January. And on Saturday evening, as his chamber readies the so-called “CRomnibus” spending bill for package, Reid has agreed to allow a vote on a measure from Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) on questioning the constitutionality of President Barack Obama’s executive amnesty.

“Forcing a vote on the constitutionality of Obama’s amnesty is important for two reasons,” Cruz said in a statement his office provided to Breitbart News. “First, since President Obama enacted his unilateral amnesty after the elections, Democrats have never been made to answer for it. Tonight, they will and they will show America whether they stand with a lawless President, who is defying the will of the voters or the millions of Americans who want a safe and legal immigration system.”

Cruz went on to detail more reasons why this fight was important.

“Second, it allows Republicans to also show they are committed to ending Obama’s amnesty once and for all in the next Congress,” Cruz said. “If we agree it is indeed unconstitutional, we have no business funding it when the GOP controls Congress last year. The Constitution matters, and we must defend it. That is why we have fought so hard to ensure this vote.”

Just in case some of you young whippersnappers (& some older ones) didn’t know this. It’s easy to check out, if you don’t believe it. Be sure and show it to your family and friends. They need a little history lesson on what’s what and it doesn’t matter whether you are Democrat or Republican. Facts are Facts.

Social Security Cards up until the 1980s expressly stated the number and card were not to be used for identification purposes. Since nearly everyone in the United States now has a number, it became convenient to use it anywayand the message, NOT FOR IDENTIFICATION, was removed.An old Social Security card with the “NOT FOR IDENTIFICATION” message.

Our Social Security

Franklin Roosevelt, a Democrat, introduced the Social Security (FICA) Program. He promised:

1.) That participation in the Program would be Completely voluntary,

No longer Voluntary
2.) That the participants would only have to pay 1% of the first $1,400 of their annual Incomes into the Program,

Now 7.65%
on the first $90,000
3.) That the money the participants elected to put into the Program would be deductible from their income for tax purposes each year,

No longer tax deductible
4.) That the money the participants put into the independent ‘Trust Fund’ rather than into the general operating fund, and therefore,would
only be used to fund the Social Security Retirement Program, and no other Government program, and,

Under Johnson the money was moved to The General Fund and Spent
5.) That theannuity payments to the retirees would never be taxed
as income.

Under Clinton & Gore Up to 85% of your Social Security can be Taxed

Since many of us have paid into FICA for years and are now receiving a Social Security check every month — and then finding that we are getting taxed on 85% of the money we paid to the Federal government to ‘put away’ — you may be interested in the following:

———— ——— ——— ——— ——— ——— —-

Q: WhichPolitical Party took Social Security from the independent ‘Trust Fund’ and put it into the general fund so that Congress could spend it?

A: It was Lyndon Johnson and the democratically controlled House and Senate.

———— ——— ——— ——— ——— ——— ——— —

Q: Which Political Party eliminated the income tax deduction for Social Security (FICA) withholding?

A: The Democratic Party.

———— ——— ——— ——— ——— ——— ——— —–

Q: WhichPolitical Party started taxing Social Security annuities?

A: The Democratic Party, with Al Gore casting the ‘tie-breaking’ deciding vote as President of the Senate, while he was Vice President of the US

———— ——— ——— ——— ——— ——— ——— –

Q: Which Political Party decided to start giving annuity payments to immigrants?

AND MY FAVORITE:

A: That’s right! Jimmy Carter and the Democratic Party.
Immigrants moved into this country, and at age 65, began to receive Social Security payments! The Democratic Party gave these payments to them, even though they never paid a dime into it!

———— — ———— ——— —– ———— ——— ———

Then,after violating the original contract (FICA), the Democrats turn around and tell you that the Republicans want to take your Social Security away!

And the worst part about it is uninformed citizens believe it!
If enough people receive this, maybe a seed of awareness will be planted and maybe changes will evolve.
But it’s worth a try.

How many people can YOU send this to?

Actions speak louder than bumper stickers

PLEASE DO KEEP THIS ONE ROLLING ACROSS THE COUNTRY. HOPEFULLY IT WILL OPEN A FEW EYES and CAUSE CONGRESS TO START A TREND TO CORRECT THE DAMAGE DONE!!!!!!!
